Vedanta urges India to ramp up domestic critical mineral production amid Strait of Hormuz risk

Strait of Hormuz tensions could spike supply shocks

The push comes as Strait of Hormuz geopolitical tensions raise supply risk and global competition for critical minerals intensifies. The company argues stronger long-term resource security will require quicker development rather than relying on imports.
